Are You Bored Yet?

Welcome to Fall. In honor of the season - these are my pumpkin socks.
Pattern is ladybug socks - but I made them out of orange yarn and they are now pumpkin socks. They took me forever, through no fault of the socks. I got them cast on, but then because they needed concentration they kept getting put aside for knits that needed less thought.
Once I actually started working on them - I was able to commit the pattern to memory and even work on them on the bus! I know, right?!
They have all my usual specks - toe up; two at a time; gusset and heel flap. I do increase the gusset to 20 stitches per side and I like them much better that way, but I need to remember to start the heel earlier - about 3.5" short. While they fit fine, I think they will fit better if I start the gusset increases earlier.
These will be fun to wear this year with my jeans. A nice bright pop of pumpkin peaking out when I sit or walk.

I appreciate you coming to see me. It may take me a bit to publish your comment - but I will get to them by the end of every day. If you leave a way for me to get back to you, I will. Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your opinions. g
